The world of "Star Wars" will come to life with attractions that include the ability to operate the Millenium Falcon and allow guests to be in the middle of a space battle, Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced at the Disney D23 Fan Expo 2015.

“We are creating a jaw-dropping new world," Iger said. "These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.”

Disney will also be adding the interactive Star Wars Launch Bay and introducing a new seasonal event, Season of the Force, which will update Space Mountain to become Hyperspace Mountain where guests will participate in an X-Wing battle.
